Chapter 432

The Song Jian troops of more than 20,000 people and the Di barbarians were completely annihilated by Guan Yu, which really boosted the morale of the entire Guan Yu army and was full of fighting spirit.

Although chasing the enemy and slashing is also very exhausting, although Guan Yu's army has fewer soldiers since the morning has few opportunities to recover, the motivation of the victory makes everyone's adrenaline soar, and the limit of physical strength is fully squeezed out, and they don't feel tired at all.

For Han Sui, the destruction of Song Jian and Yang Qianwan only gave him a chance to breathe for half an hour. Under the raging flood, this time was not enough for the soldiers to return to the Jincheng City, which was only twelve miles away to the east.

Han Suijun really wanted to return to the city, but they had to worry that after leaving the high ground that they had finally seized, they would be caught by Guan Yu's army on the next ten miles, and then fight against the condescending enemies in the water that was at least waist-deep, so it would be better to turn to the spot and hold on.

I have to worry that if I walk too fast, I will be washed down by the water flow and slide all the way into the Yellow River and give it a waste of time.

In such a dilemma, the remaining troops of Han Sui's army with more than 25,000 combat effectiveness who had more than 5,000 troops before the flood were washed away and drowned.

Among the casualties in the previous battle, the number of wounded soldiers was originally at least twice that of the people who died directly. Now that the flood comes, the wounded will definitely not be able to escape or stand firm, and almost 90% of the wounded soldiers are directly ended in pain.

Coupled with the internal strife that robbed the water-avoiding highlands in the chaos, and all kinds of fleeing. When Guan Yu's army came to the front, Han Sui's army was actually only 17,800 people left, which was only five times the strength of Guan Yu's army, and it was not as huge as the power gap as imagined at the beginning.

Moreover, Han Sui, the eight-eight soldiers, were scattered in an open area that stretched six or seven miles from east to west, and were divided and separated, and could not form a formation to effectively resist. They could only be defeated by the enemy in a cluster of one or two thousand in the east and one or two thousand in the west, and could not support each other.

Guan Yu's army also suffered considerable losses in the attack and camp for most of the day. Later, when he chased and annihilated Song Jian and Di troops, there were no casualties at all. In addition, he had to separate people to guard the prisoners and confiscate weapons. Only 3,000 people chased him to deal with Han Sui.

The only factor that was beneficial to Han Sui's army was that the flood peak formed by the water storage in the upstream would pass faster and last less than a day. Guan Yu delayed half an hour because of fighting with Song Jian and Yang Qianwan, and the water level dropped by more than a foot from the peak.

As a result, many of the caravans of Guan Yujun were not deep enough, and their wheels had already hit the bottom of the ground. Li Suzaodu's caravans had a draft of the caravans under full load and could be nearly four feet deep. The wheels below had a radius of two feet, so when the water depth was less than six feet under full load, the wheels would hit the ground.

Fortunately, the wheels are not a big deal. They are used for both water and land. After landing, they can roll and turn, and they are not impossible to open. The buoyancy of the water can offset 70% or 80% of the load, so it is easier for the soldiers to make it easier for them to cut.

Moreover, the reason why Guan Yu had to attack the upstream Song Jian and Di soldiers first and then the downstream Han Sui was also trying to use the impact of the water to help the troops move. Because when attacking Han Sui, he could go down from east to west, and half pushing and half of it would be very labor-saving.

Waves of textbook-style car arrays approached and shot arrows, shooting rows of Han Sui's troops. The enemy troops occupying the high ground and seizing the dead, could not withstand the pressure and chose to surrender. The offensive of Guan Yu's army became more and more imposing.

After easily destroying the enemy troops of two regiments of one or two thousand people per regiment, Guan Yu's army weakened the number of Han Sui's army to about 15,000. Yang Qiu and the candidates both held their heads and asked for surrender, hoping to avoid death, and promised to help Guan Yu gather the prisoners.

Considering that Guan Yu had decisively killed Song Jian just now, if he did not establish any positive examples of surrendering and rebel, it would probably be unfavorable to the subsequent recruitment and captive work, and it might even force the enemy to jump over the wall, so he approved the accusation of pardoning the two of them on the front line.

"Just surrender immediately and help lead the death warriors to siege the city in a while, you will forgive your crimes. But the official rank cannot be retained!"

This condition is very reasonable. In history, when Yu Jin surrendered to Liu Bei's camp, he was also a surrendered general who was treated as a prisoner rather than a reinstatement. These people surrendered only after they were desperate in front of the battlefield and could not enjoy the official treatment as they had surrendered before the battle started.

Yang Qiu, the candidate did not dare to have more extravagant expectations, and directly accepted it completely and changed his life to survive.

As Guan Yu continued to rush deeper, he finally met Yan Xing, who was still very arrogant in the morning. He stood on an earthen embankment with a steel spear of eight o'clock. He was surrounded by a group of three or four thousand people. It was the largest group of people in the remnants of Han Sui's army, and it seemed that the military discipline was still strict.

When Guan Yu saw the eight-point steel spear, he narrowed his eyes and felt a little angry: Isn’t this the weapon that the third brother lost and lost!

However, seeing that Yan Xing is a little brave, Guan Yu wanted to give him a chance and shouted loudly: "Yan Xing! Don't let Han Sui be buried with you! Except for Han Sui and Song Jian, everyone else can at least survive as long as they surrender! I will give you a chance in the end, don't let your soldiers die with you."

Yan Xing ignored him and just ordered his soldiers to shoot arrows to respond. Some soldiers saw that they had the opportunity to surrender and were afraid that they would be liquidated in the future if they shot arrows now. Another grassroots officer tried to persuade Yan Xing.

As a result, Yan Xing raised a spear and stabbed the hesitant officer to death, cursing angrily: "I have a grudge against Zhang Fei. If I surrender to the Han Dynasty, wouldn't I be suppressed and humiliated by Zhang Fei for the rest of my life! Today is just a quick battle!"

After scolding, he snatched the dead man's bow and shot at Guan Yu, but it was not very accurate, and shot it on Guan Yu's car with a "dream". If the car hadn't been big enough, the arrow would have at least several feet off.

Guan Yu was also furious and too lazy to explain what "my third brother doesn't want to be idle with people like you." He directly asked people to continue shooting arrows until they shot Yan Xing's group of people overturned and killed hundreds of people.

During this process, some Han soldiers in caravans wanted to get closer and shoot more accurately because of their greed for merit, so they forced them to a place that was only ten steps away from the earthen embankment.

On the other hand, it is also because the convoy goes downstream and may not be able to stop when braked as soon as possible, which makes it easy to crash into the earthen embankment - this situation is not uncommon. Even container ships with 20,000 TEUs can not stop hitting the canal bank.

Yan Xing was suppressed for a long time, and finally got an opportunity. He rushed a few steps, then jumped into a caravan that could not control the impact of the dam and ran aground. He stabbed the steel spears with eight o'clock, killing five or six people in a row. The remaining soldiers in the car jumped into the water and fled in fear.

Yan Xing seized the car and forced the soldiers who followed him to take the oars left by the Han soldiers and row towards Guan Yu's car. Seeing this, other Han military chariots, of course, shot arrows at the car that was taken away by Yan Xing. However, the caravan's arrow avoidance effect was so good. Yan Xing was low within the cover of the six-foot-high shipboard board, and the crossbow arrows outside could not shoot him at all.

"General, let other cars block him. There is no need to take risks with a thousand gold!" Guan Yu's personal soldiers on the ship had already started paddling backwards.

Guan Yu was furious: "Rareless, take it back for me!"

The officer followed the officer advised: "General, you have excellent martial arts skills in the world, but you have never rode a horse today. Do you want to fight Yan Xing on the boat?"

Guan Yu sternly rebuked: "What's wrong with the infantry battle? Yan Xing is also a infantry battle! I'll take his head in the infantry battle like taking a baby!"

Under Guan Yu's urging, the paddlers did not retreat anymore, nor did they let friendly forces be cannon fodder to resist Yan Xing, which made Yan Xing lose the opportunity to "jump several cars to chase Guan Yu."

"Kaola--" With a sound of hardwood hitting, two caravans collided in the water, the front panel of the car was directly smashed, and both cars began to get into the water.

Yan Xing shouted loudly, leaped over the car with an eight-point steel spear, and penetrated his arms in the air and slashed violently.

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes, and the Qinglong sword swung up counterclockwise, and with a loud "clang" sound, it opened the spear blade.

Although Guan Yu's martial arts are actually much better than Yan Xing, under normal circumstances, he cannot win without thirty or fifty rounds.

But as soon as Yan Xing took action, Guan Yu easily knew how to crack it. The key is that Guan Yu usually knows how to deal with the 8-point steel spear, what are the advantages and disadvantages of his opponent's weapons, and how to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.

In contrast, Yan Xing had fought for more than ten years, but he had never encountered any master who used the Qinglong Sword. In terms of restraining experience, Yan Xing was completely at a disadvantage.

In addition, when he was attacking the camp in the morning, he was scratched by a horse-slashing sword and iron armor on his shoulder. Moreover, he was seriously injured by Zhang Fei's spear piercing his shoulder hole. Even after six or seven years, he still could not restore the strength of his left arm to its peak state.

At this moment, Guan Yu blocked Yan Xing's several strokes and stabbed Yan Xing, and after only three strikes, Yan Xing could not resist it. The new and old injuries were stacked, and the left arm was weak. Half of the blocking, his arm became soft. Guan Yu's Qinglong sword slashed along the spear pole and chopped off Yan Xing's three fingers. Yan Xing's miserable spear was abandoned and retreated. Guan Yu's fifth sword had already swung horizontally, beheading Yan Xing.

"Something is something, it seems that the injury is first. But you are a stubborn thief. We are not here to compete with you today. Letting you die upright is worthy of you." Guan Yu silently reviewed the battle just now, and guessed that Yan Xing had been injured before.

As soon as Yan Xing died, another group of two or three thousand Han Sui's troops abandoned their armor and surrendered. Guan Yu's momentum was greatly boosted and he continued to pursue Han Sui.

The Han Sui army's troops were left with only a few more than 10,000 left, and only Cheng Yin, a brave general, protected him. He was panicked for a while and wanted to wade through the water and flee back to the city.

Moreover, if Cheng Yin is put into the Three Kingdoms game, he will be a guy with a force of over 70 at most. He is not the same level as Yan Xing, who can barely reach 90. Yan Xing has been killed by Guan Yu. If Guan Yu really catches up, Cheng Yin can't even withstand three swords.

In order to prevent Guan Yu from being recognized, Han Sui gave up his copper helmet to Cheng Yin. In order to make quick action, he even took off his iron armor, so as not to fall while wading, and was dragged down by the iron armor. He rushed forward in a low-key manner. In addition, the sky gradually became dark, and Han Sui was not caught by Guan Yu for a while.

Guan Yu was aimlessly chasing the defeated soldiers all over the pond and the fields, destroying them wherever they passed, and defeating them everywhere. The rest surrendered, only to regret not finding Han Sui in any group.

But just when Guan Yu was anxious, there were still more and more intense roars and shouts from the Jincheng city to the east, and Guan Yu could vaguely hear it from five or six miles away.

Although Guan Yu couldn't see clearly, he listened to it and checked the momentum and flag of the friendly forces, and realized that it was Wang Ping and the troops stationed on Gaolan Mountain who were taking advantage of the chaos to steal the city.

In the distance, Wang Ping, with three thousand Qingqiang soldiers, was crazily seizing the city wall.

These Qing Qiang soldiers originally had no land in Yizhou. Now Li Su immigrated their families to Lintao and Dazhong. Each household distributed 100 acres of wasteland or grassland for the transfer of pasture to cultivate themselves, and also distributed oxen and farm tools. Therefore, the morale of these Qing Qiang soldiers was extremely high, and they were all afraid of death when fighting.

The Jincheng City Wall was originally damaged a lot in Guan Yu's early firepower preparations, but now it was soaked in water. The soldiers on the city wall were running around like headless flies. I wonder if Han Sui's life and death outside the city was in chaos. Wang Ping quickly attacked the city and launched a desperate battle on the city wall.

On the other hand, Dian Wei also brought a small army of about a thousand people. According to Li Su's military order, he maneuvered from the southwest corner of Jincheng to the west gate, blocking the troops who wanted to return to the city and blocking the city gate.

Han Sui deceived Guan Yu with his light clothes and finally escaped to the west gate of Jincheng. Although he saw that there were a small group of Han troops outside the west gate were slashing and blocking him, he saw that Dian Wei was not as crowded as his own troops, so he shouted to show his identity and let the city wall open.

"Quickly open the city gate and let the Gu return to the city! Where is Cheng Gongying? Open the door quickly!"

The defenders on the city dare not disobey orders. After all, if the lord is finished, what city will he guard? Even if he knows that there are small groups of Han troops interspersed at the city gate, he will not care.

After hearing Han Sui's shout, Dian Wei was overjoyed and waved his double iron halberds and rushed over with kneeless water. Near the base of the west gate of Jincheng, the terrain was already relatively high, and it was an hour and a half before the flood peak, so the water depth was only more than two feet.

Han Sui was furious when he saw that the harassing Han army dared to overestimate the masses, but he knew that his life was valuable and he didn't have to fight for this tone. Cheng Yin immediately blocked the big man and the Han soldiers behind him, and he rushed directly into the city gate.

"Where is Han Sui going? Dian Wei, the guard guard, is here!" Dian Wei's hand halberds flew out, and he threw all the ten hand halberds on his body out.

Han Sui's personal soldiers were afraid of drowning and threw their armor into the water, so they were in a state of no defense. Even if the penetration power of the hand halberd was not strong, they would kill each halberd in seconds.

Seeing this, the defenders on the city wall shot arrows at Dian Wei like crazy. But Dian Wei was prepared at least. Today, he wore anthracite armor that was not too heavy and had good defense. Although he was still shot several arrows, he was not deep into the flesh. It looked like seven or eight arrows were stinging on his body, looking terrifying, fierce and brave, but not at all.

Han Sui was stunned for a moment, and his legs were weak and unable to move. Cheng Yin came to fight with a gun and was killed by Dian Wei several moves. Then he stabbed Han Sui in the throat with a halberd, and a hero Han Sui killed the city.

"Han Sui has been killed! The rest of them surrender to avoid death!" Dian Wei yelled in excitement, chopped Han Sui's head and held it in his hand, and even wanted one of his iron halberds. He held the iron halberd in one hand and rushed into the west gate of Jincheng frantically.

The south gate and city tower to the south have also been captured by Wang Ping. The defenders of the west gate saw that Han Sui was dead, and seemed to have forgotten to close the gate.
